[Verse 1]
Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
I've been gone for. so long now
Am G
Chasing everything that's new.
Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
And I've forgotten how I got here
Am G
I've not forgotten you.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
We were just children, with our eyes opened,
and
Am G
You were all that I could see
Fmaj7 Am C Fmaj7
You came close enough to know my heartbeat,
but
Am G
Still not close enough for me.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
Through the good times and the bad
G Am G
You were the best I never had
Fmaj7 Am G
The only chance I wish I had to take
Fmaj7 C
There was no writing on the wall
G Am G
No... war ning signs to follow
Fmaj7 Am G
I know now, and I just can't forget
Fmaj7
You're the best I never had.
[Bridge]
C G
Na, na, na...
Am G
Mmm...
Fmaj7 Am G
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Am
In this motel
C Fmaj7
Well pass midnight
Am G
When I'm bluer than a bruise.
Fmaj7 Am
You come drifting in,
C Fmaj7
through the halflight
Am G
In your funny yellow shoes.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fmaj7 Am
I hope that's you standing,
C Fmaj7
at my doorway;
Am G
That's the scratching of your key
Fmaj7 Am C
And I hope this song I'm singing
Fmaj7
Someday finds you
Am G
My letter to Elise.
Uhh!
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 C
Through the good times and the bad
G Am G
You were the best I never had
Fmaj7 Am G
The only chance I wish I had to take
Fmaj7 C
There was no writing on the wall
G Am G
No... war ning signs to follow
Fmaj7 Am G
I know now, and I just can't forget
Fmaj7
You're the best I never had.
[Outro]
C
Na, na, na...
G
Mmm...
Am G Fmaj7
The best I never had
C
Na, na, na...
G
Mmm...
Am G Fmaj7
The best I never had
Mmm...
